Dear brother,
I hope it is not too late to apologize. I am sorry for what I have done to innocent you. But trust me, I'll take up mother's responsibility and take as good care as mother did of you.
I should have thanked you for your naughty action which brought me to this world. Yesterday after mother's funeral, father told me something about the past. He said in earlier days when our country started to put the family planning policy into effect, it was illegal to give birth to two kids in a family. Yet since you were born to have congenital Down's syndrome, our parents were allowed to have a second kid. But proud as mother, she believed you could be taught cleverer and refused to give birth. At the age of eight, you pricked our parents' condom when you were playing it as an air balloon. Then I came to the world.
I was jealous of you when I was young because however naughty you were mother would never punish you. However, sometimes even it was not my own fault, mother would blame me. When I got older, I started to understand you were stupid and felt ashamed to tell other kids you were my brother. I even thought my life was stained by you. At those days, I just had one dream, which was escaping our family. I didn't play with others; I refused all the boys who showed their interests on me; I felt so self-abased and I thought I had no tomorrow.
How silly was I! How mean was I!
Now I totally understand mother's protect to you as I become a mother-to-be. My husband is a generous and understanding man. His love melts me and brings my life sunshine. My coming baby is an active infant as I can feel; I am willing to give him everything I have. Brother, you are going to be an uncle, an innocent and kind uncle. Would you please forgive me for my baby's sake?
Your love;
Minmin

Every coin has two sides. One of my friend left the world, and now her parents are alone.
Fewer yet healthier children policy may sound like eugenics.
A huge population is no good in deed. But wha if the number of people is declining dramatically or if the people's fertility is no longer so strong?
That's true.
For those who may not know about China's family planning policy: One child per family.
Some parents are allowed to have two or more kids, though. That really depends. My wife used to say it would be wonderful to have more kids. But, China has already had a huge population. So, China's policy is less yet healthier children.
Thank you, sweet nida! When a woman begins to be a mother, she will be much more tender, do you think so?
OM Exp, it's close to the reality but not the same. Come on, you are as naughty as sis Bala!
The second paragraph, hahaha, now I feel funny too. [But when I wrote it I didn't notice it is funny]
;-)
It's such an emotional letter, kind Mickey!
A real story? The family planning policy paragraph is so fun.
Naughty Bala, good question! In Chinese, if you have an intimate relationship with the others, say your family, your close friends, you can double their last name. Such as mi qi, you are my close friend, you can call me qiqi.
The second para? Oops, knock ya! hehehe
;-)
it is always a good move to face our conscience and realize that; it is not matter to what happens in our life, but how we react to it that matters. I agreed. Confucius also had the similar saying. He thought men who can correct their mistakes is right men.
